Palaven

Palaven

Palaven is the Turian homeworld. It is highly contaminated with radiation due to a weak metallic core. To protect themselves from radiation, the Turians have evolved with a sort of exoskeleton. Shepard will have to visit there in Mass Effect 3 to recruit the Turians to help fight the Reapers.

In Mass Effect 3, Shepard will have to rescue the Turian leader, Primarch Fardori, who is trapped on Palaven's moon when the Reapers invade. Once Shepard finds out he's dead, Shepard goes to find General Victus who is next in line of succession. Spoiler - Click to see/hide
